this felt like a very long and very good therapy session. the one that i leave with eyes red and puffy from tears but also with genuine happiness and hope.
natasha lunn talks to experts, authors, journalists and just loved and loving people about different aspects of love and lost. the form of the book, a collection of interviews is fun to read and i really loved how in between the conversations there were these “memoir-ish” bits in which we could get to know the author and her experiences with love and lost more. about that, please check the trigger warnings before reading! it was much heavier than i expected and explored some topics that can easily be triggering for some people.
the topic of has always been very interesting to me - i really love love and all that’s connected to it. but as i’m just a teenager, right now it’s probably a lot about the idea of love, not the love itself. conversations on love taught me a lot. i tend to find myself reading books that are too mature for my inexperienced in life self, but this one felt good and appropriate - even though i’m probably not the main target. i already recommended it to my mom and i recommend it to you!!! and your mom probably too.
ps. in the first chapter every other sentence had me shocked because, even though i’m sixteen, me and natasha lunn are the same person. she is me and i am her.
